Join AOMCI!
The Antique Outboard Motor Club has many regional chapters that help you out for every make
and age of vintage motors.


Southern Ontario Rowboat Chapter of AOMCI
This chapter is not geographically based anywhere really. We have members all over the world.
AOMCI needed a "place" to register with the chapter so our founder, Chris Scratch, chose his region.

To join, you need to be an
AOMCI member.

What I'm trying to do here is provide a space where you can find photos of actual rowboat motors, plus find written information about them. The written info will be primary sources whenever possible, such as catalogs, parts lists and owner's manuals and original articles.

The photos I have are often of restored motors, but whenever I have the option unrestored examples will be shown. While "unrestored" does not guarantee originality there is a better chance of it.

These are old motors, so there will be pictures of motors with parts on them that are not original. Where I know for sure a part is not original I'll say so.

Any help with corrections and additions will be most welcome!

This site is intended to be a place where you can get a feel for what is original and appropriate, and what is not.

(And, I have to admit, where you can see restorations of various philosophies.)
